Main task - storyboard
As a group we sat down and draw up a storyboard before creating our film, here we planned the shots, camera movements, lighting, sound and transactions we would use in the making of our main film. Below is the story board we created.
Main task influences - analysing 'stalker' films
Before putting together our film we looked at other films for reference to make sure we didn't leave any key codes and conventions out. We also looked at dated films right through to modern day films to make sure we didn't miss out anything.
The first film we looked at was a film called 'One hour photo' we looked at this as it consisted of a stalker plot theme. This American film made in 2002 sees a lonely shop worker who dedicates his life to work, his favourite customers are the Yorkin family, he idolises their happiness and the fact they have each other. This is due to the fact that 'Sy' (the main character) only has a hamster for companionship but the Yorkin family all have each other. This then turns into an obsession and he soon starts to stalk the family. This link shows the trailer to the movie we looked at, and although it is only the trailer it shows how the obsession builds up.
Another film we looked at was called 'Sleeping with the enemy' this like the film above is a film based around stalking. This film sees a woman who is violently abused by her husband and when decides to leave the relationship he comes down to find her. The film ends with Martin being killed by his own gun with Laura (the main female characters) ring next to him.
When comparing these two films we decided that there had to be an ending, we had to decide what path we wanted to take did we want the stalker to kill someone or just get caught? We decided on the stalker killing someone so that the film could carry on into a crime scene.

Main task research - CRIME!
Once we had chosen our genre we then decided to map out what codes and conventions come under crime. This helped us to ensure that our film included or built up to all of these.

Pre-lim task
This is my groups preliminary task. We decided to go with the genre of crime as we found that the crime genre had very distinctive features over the other possible genres we discussed.
